e& and Regional Telcos Unite for GCC's First Sustainability Hackathon to Fast-Track Greener Networks - Middle East Business News and Information
GCC telecom leaders bring together innovators to tackle the sector's biggest climate challenges head-on, from energy-hungry networks to e-waste transformation, and scaling renewables Abu Dhabi, UAE –August 2025 – e&, global technology group and founding member of the GCC Sustainability Innovation Hub, joins forces with the region's top telecom operators to launch the first GCC Sustainability Hackathon, a high-intensity challenge designed to uncover the next wave of green technology breakthroughs and rethink how regional networks are built, powered, and maintained. The inaugural hackathon invites innovators, solution providers, and startups to compete across three high-impact tracks: AI-driven energy efficiency to create smarter networks that cut power consumption; e-waste management to transform telecom waste and discarded hardware into high-value resources; and renewable energy solutions to scale clean power for towers and data centres. ' By uniting the GCC's strongest networks and brightest talent, we can turn prototypes into region-wide change in months, not years ,' said Mohamed H Almarzooqi, Sr. Vice President/Access Network, e& international. ' The ideas born here could be the catalyst to rethink how telecom networks are built and powered, helping us cut costs, slash emissions, and set new benchmarks for sustainable connectivity — making the UAE's and the region's net-zero ambitions a reality, faster. ' Competing for valuable prizes across the three tracks, participants will work against the clock to design and present solutions that have a measurable environmental impact. The best ideas will be presented live during a special event hosted by stc Group in Riyadh. Registration is open until 1 September via the stc Group's online platform. Submissions will be evaluated from September 2 to 16 by a judging panel representing all participating telcos. Finalists will present their ideas live in Riyadh from September 14 to 16, and winners will be announced at a ceremony on September 17. Andrew Dunnett, Group Senior Vice President of Sustainability, e&, said: ' Meeting net-zero targets cannot be about incremental change; it's all about accelerating the best ideas to full-scale adoption. And this Sustainability Hackathon brings our industry together to do exactly that. It gives innovators a platform to deliver solutions that pull innovation through procurement, standardise what 'good' looks like, and give startups a pathway from pilot to portfolio, proving that sustainable networks are a performance advantage, not a trade-off .' This initiative stems from the GCC Sustainability Innovation Hub – a seven-member alliance, formed in the wake of COP28 commitments, by e&, Beyon, du, Ooredoo, Omantel, stc Group, and Zain to establish region-wide procurement standards for green technology, and accelerate renewable energy adoption across 39 subsidiaries in 33 countries, guiding the GCC towards a unified net-zero framework. The hackathon builds on the GCC Sustainability Innovation Hub's regional track record in cutting network energy use, deploying renewables, and reducing e-waste – now aiming to harness regional talent to scale breakthroughs faster and accelerate those gains through innovation. For e&, this event builds on a broader portfolio of sustainability initiatives, including commitments to reach net-zero emissions (Scopes 1 & 2) by 2030 in the UAE and by 2040 across all operations, the publication of e& Climate Transition Plan, a roadmap to how the group plans to meet its targets, the launch of Project Life to reduce Scope 3 emissions, the introduction of eco-friendly recycled SIM cards, and the deployment of the region's first net-zero 5G Massive MIMO site powered entirely by renewables. e& also offers 'Sustainability-as-a-Service' solutions that enable enterprises to meet their ESG goals using IoT, AI, and automation. The GCC has the talent, the networks, and the urgency, and this hackathon is a standing invitation to turn that into impact and set a global benchmark for sustainable telecom. About e&: e& is a global technology group committed to advancing the digital future across markets in the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Europe.

Confluent Unlocks Scalable Real-Time Agentic AI With Streaming Agents - Middle East Business News and Information
Confluent, Inc. (Nasdaq: CFLT), the data streaming pioneer, today announced Streaming Agents, a new capability in Confluent Cloud for Apache Flink® that makes it easy to build and scale AI agents that monitor, reason, and act on real-time data. Streaming Agents removes barriers to enterprise-grade agentic artificial intelligence (AI) by unifying data processing and AI workflows and providing easy, secure connections to every part of a business, including large language models (LLMs) and embedding models, tools, and other systems. It accelerates the adoption of agentic AI, enabling more efficient workflows, faster time to value, and the creation of entirely new business models and opportunities. 'Agentic AI is on every organization's roadmap. But most companies are stuck in prototype purgatory, falling behind as others race toward measurable outcomes,' said Shaun Clowes, Chief Product Officer at Confluent. 'Even your smartest AI agents are flying blind if they don't have fresh business context. Streaming Agents simplifies the messy work of integrating the tools and data that create real intelligence, giving organizations a solid foundation to deploy AI agents that drive meaningful change across the business.' IDC research shows that while organizations ran an average of 23 generative AI proofs of concept between 2023 and 2024, only three reached production. Of those, just 62% met expectations. 'While most enterprises are investing in agentic AI, their data architectures can't support the autonomous decision-making capabilities these systems require,' said Stewart Bond, Vice President of Data Intelligence and Integration Software at IDC. 'Organizations should prioritize agentic AI solutions that offer easy, secure integration and leverage real-time data for the essential context needed for intelligent action.' Build and Scale Real Time AI Agents With Streaming Agents Streaming Agents brings agentic AI directly into stream processing pipelines to help teams build, deploy, and orchestrate event-driven agents with Apache Kafka® and Apache Flink®. By unifying data processing and AI reasoning, agents gain access to fresh contextual data from real-time sources to quickly adapt and communicate with other agents and systems as conditions change. Streaming Agents are always on and works on a business's behalf, operating dynamically, processing high-volume data streams, and instantly responding to real-time signals with context-aware reasoning like human operators would. For example, Streaming Agents can do competitive pricing by continuously monitoring prices across ecommerce sites and automatically updating product prices on a retailer's site to reflect the most competitive offer for customers. Key features of Streaming Agents include: Tool calling for context-aware automation: Tool invocation via Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables agents to select the right external tool, such as a database, software-as-a-service (SaaS), or API, to take meaningful action. Tool calling accounts for what's happening in the business and what other systems and agents are doing.

Tool calling accounts for what's happening in the business and what other systems and agents are doing. Connections for secure integrations: Securely connect to models, vector databases, and MCP directly using Flink. Connections also protect sensitive credentials, encourage more reusability by sharing connections across multiple tables, models, and functions, and centralize management for large-scale deployments.

Connections also protect sensitive credentials, encourage more reusability by sharing connections across multiple tables, models, and functions, and centralize management for large-scale deployments. External Tables and Search to boost AI accuracy: Ensure that streaming data is enriched with non-Kafka data sources, such as relational databases and REST APIs, to provide the most current and complete view of data. This improves the accuracy of AI decision-making, vector search, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) applications, reduces cost and complexity by using Flink SQL, and leverages the security and networking capabilities of Confluent Cloud.

Replayability for iteration and safety: Agents can be developed and evaluated using real data without live side effects, enabling dark launches, A/B testing, and faster iteration. Streaming Agents are available today in open preview.
